Today most of the team is at Copp Street at Sam’s house. We started the morning caulking around the already hung blue siding while additional siding was going up. After lunch we will go back. This is the home that HOPE wants our group to work on and will hopefully complete soon in good weather. Others have a painting job on Bernachi Street.
Lots of homeless cats are on the street. Sam says they help with the rodent population, but there are a lot. Jenny says the Humane Society message says to call animal control. Not sure if any no kill rescuers are down here to spay/neuter or assist anymore. Both the humans and the animals need help … Jenny from HOPE rescued a dog on the street. Looks like help might be done on an individual basis ... more to come.
Sam's house is like so many we visited--lots of waiting for grant money, for supplies, workers. Many homes have been completed and many are still waiting for assistance. We've seen some of the homes completed by other VIM Teams. Hope lots more are coming. If you're thinking about it East Biloxi still needs you.
Tonight we are looking forward to a Team dinner out at a local BBQ restaurant -- The Shed.
Today is Bob’s birthday! This is the third birthday on this trip. Team Blogger

Blessed by bright sun we are finally going to the job site that the HOPE folks intended for us at Copp Street. Most of the team is there. Four others, with Carole as “straw boss,” are across town in West Biloxi (other side of 110) painting a house’s trim work. It is getting hot, but the humidity is not too high yet. It is starting to feel like August in Biloxi. John Fritz

The youngest members of our crew are a joy to behold and interact with. Ah -- if all the people of the world could emulate their example! At any rate it's good to be together in service to one another and our Biloxi brothers and sisters. Evy Hartley
